long enough to conceal the skirt, out fell
in three deep points.
The mstrOn on the piaZzs, surrounded by
q bevy of girls, likes something little
more comfortable and not incompatible
with neStness and beauty. The dress is
made of any soft and delicate material,
such as cashmere, and is quite loose,
scarcely fitting to the form at all, except
at the waist, where it is confined by a
broad ribbon sash. The front is laid al
ternately in broad box plaits and in mar
rover clusters Of plaits; the box plaits
are detached from the bust to the bottom
of the garment, and it is beneath these
platts that the broad satin RIBBON is
passed, hanging in q loose bow at the
left hip. The cuffs and loose sailor col
lar are of surah. This design also looks
very pretty in foulard, with trimmings Of
velvet.
Are you going to Manhattan beach,?
Then the proper thing for bathing is the
Manhattan suit made in dark blue serge
flannel trimmed with narrow white braid
The suit consists of blouse waist, skirt,
and trousers. The trousers and blouse
waist can be Joined in one garment, ana
the skirt MADE separately and buttoned
on, which is the most convenient and
comfortable way, or the waist and skirt
can be Joined together. The waist has
yoke al the back, and the collar Is
sailor shape. The sleeves are cut short
and finished with three rows of braid.
jersey bathing suits are worn and pre-
ferred by swimmers; mos. women wear
corset with them, and this somewhat
impedes free motion. Stockings match
ing the Edress, canvas shoes and an oil
skin cap are necessary adjuncts.
In making full skirts it is we'll to have
8 gored foundation skirt and tack the
side and back seams of the full skirt TO
it; this prevents the ful.ness formulating
forward from the tournure. This is
practicable in wash dresses, as the white
skirt to be worn next the dress can have
8 belt the same size, and it only requires
the taking out of few stitches when
becomes necessary.
CHILDREN's DRESSES.
Barper's Bazaar: Challi dresses are
also in crest favor for misses and small
girls Those with cream white grounds
strewn with roses or with sprfgs of blue,
green, or brown are made with basque
and slight drapery, with velvet ribbon
trimming in rows around the skirt, or IN
serted down the sides, and as vest, or
revers, or in yoke shape in front with
pleating below it.
India silks, plain or figured, canvas
embroidered piques, white
nuIls with feather stitching, and en-
Oroidered muslin dresses are used for the |
BEST frocks of small girls, white ging- |
hams are preferred for every day wear
because they wash and wear well. The |
plain low waist, with pointed front and I
S liked both for India silk and for ging-
lam dresses. The striped giughams and .
hose with large checks are used in high .
solors and in delicate shades of pink, I
due or lavender. The tendency is
oward longer wasted dresses than
hose of last season, making them down to
he waist line, and sometimes trif1e be-
oW it. The ginghsms mey be gathered

FONT and bretelles of embroidery, or else

nay be plain, with row of buttons down
he middle to the point, and small revers
urned over at the top OF the round or the

hem and tucks, or else with deep en-
robbery below q cluster of tuCks, or there
lay be two frills, one plain and the other
embroidery. Most dresses have sash
